I bought this coat on sale last year for around $80 at backcountry.com. At that price, it's a good value for a softshell. Not so much of a value at $120, as there are probably better and warmer coats at that price point.
I've worn in snowcat skiing, resort skiing, daily wear. I wear it under a shell in particularly cold weather. And put an extra fleece layer on under it to help with warmth.
I like that it's lightweight, pretty windproof and has a good fit and look. I'd like to buy a second one in a different color, but not at $120..
